Scientific paper

A two site photometric campaigne on the d Scuti star BI CMi (2302 V observations over 16 nights) has allowed us to detect unambiguously four pulsation frequencies (f1 = 8.246, f2 = 8.865, f3 = 7.433 and f4 = 8.515 c/d) with amplitudes between 22 and 5 mmag. The data also show the presence of the nonlinear coupling term f1 + f2, the 2f2 term and possible presence of two other frequencies with amplitudes of 2 - 3 mmag. Other components with further smaller amplitudes are probably present, but the data do not allow reliable identifications. We discuss the identifications of the pulsation modes in terms of nonradial p modes, and we also point out theuncertainties in these identification associated to the physical parameter estimates. The possible microvariability of HD 67028, one of the two comparison stars, is also discussed.
